La Conner is one of those places in Washington State that people love to visit – time and time again. The reasons are many, but one that stands out is that there are so many things to do in – and around – La Conner! The Skagit Valley offers four seasons of activities, and La Conner offers interesting and fun activities nearly every weekend, all year long. Travel guides nearly always include the must-do things – like attending our Arts Alive! event in November, or our holiday boat parade, or the Classic Boat and Car Show in August. But there are lots of things to do and see in La Conner that you won’t find in any travel guide – things like finding one of the oldest European Birch Tree on the West Coast (planted in 1890), or visiting the only known totem pole carrying the likeness of a U.S. President.

Have we piqued your interest? Good! Here’s our list of 101+ Things to Do in La Conner. (Which, by the way, we are always adding to as we think of another fun and interesting activity you should know about!)

76. La Conner has Wi-Fi. Pull up a bench, or a spot of green grass and get connected.

77. Enroll the kids in La Conner’s Regional Library for the Summer Reading Program. Prizes for those who keep reading all summer.

78. Take a minute to enjoy the Garden Club’s community Butterfly Garden, located on Second Street.

79. Bring your easel and your palette and paint the beauty around you. Just pick a place and let your imagination take wing.

80. Visit La Conner’s Skagit County Historical Museum with your family. What a great view of our local history and the Valley!

81. Take the kids and dog for a wonderful hike out to Craft Island. This is a short hike with lots of swimming and miles of beach at low tide.

82. Go to a movie at the restored, historical Lincoln Theatre in Mount Vernon.

83. Drive to the top of Mt. Erie and watch the sunrise or sunset over the San Juan Islands.

84. Go to the Swinomish Casino and play bingo, slot machines, tables or enjoy a comedy act.

85. Visit the Pioneer monument in the middle of La Conner’s roundabout. Erected in 1936

86. Stroll up N. Third Street past the south marina and over the slough. There you will find a 20,000 lb anchor from the USS Commencement Bay. Built in Tacoma, WA in 1944.

87. Take the kids to John Hammer playground on Moore St. to climb and swing in a safe, fenced area – plenty of parking.

88. Stop by the Volunteer Fireman Museum on First Street and see the once state-of-the-art fire truck built in 1850. Used for the great fire in San Francisco in 1906 before making it’s way to La Conner.

89. Look up! What are those loud planes flying over? Probably EA-18G Growlers from the Whidbey Naval Air Station practicing their maneuvers.

90. Check out one of Skagit County’s oldest landmarks. Originally built in 1885 as a bank later used as the jail, now La Conner Town Hall on Douglas Street.

91. Wow! Check out the cross-section of a giant cedar located on First Street next to the public restroom. The tree this came from started growing around 1260 AD and measures 11 feet, 8 inches across. Now there is a historic timeline display.

92. Visit the various poets during the bi-annual Skagit River Poetry Festival held every other year in May

93. Come to the Senior Center at Maple Hall every Tuesday for lunch and/or classes for all ages; movies, speakers, fun and games!
